Description

Thomas is a simple man making a pilgrimage to humanity's origin point with maybe a bit of profit on the side. He has never considered himself the sort to do amazing feats, to slay great monsters, weave great magics, or even forge great empires. He is, by his own estimation, a humble merchant.

Yet, today he is more. Today, he bears witness to the return of a Titan.

    Good short story
    Relation to a larger tale is clear in the world building but doesn’t feel like it needs any more context than is already present.
    interesting premise and world. Looking forward to seeing other works from them.
    the 50 word minimum really doesn’t feel like much until I remember I don’t need many words to express my ideas. This is padding.
